How do I fit bucket seats correctly?
Bear with me, but I have bought a couple of Corbeau seats and have never fitted buckets before. I want sliders, at this moment in time, so do I need to look for rails that the seats mount directly to, or do you usually use separate side mounts and then find rails that they bolt to?
Apologies for the stupid question!

Which are best? Because I am pretty sure I have seen rails that have side mountings built into them but I don't know if these tend to be better/worse.
Also, if running Corbeau XL seats I'm not sure if the rails will need to be different?

I bolted Buddy Club extra low seat mounts to Sparco seat 'side' mounts; then bolted the whole lot to the bottom half of the Subaru seat slider assembly.
that meant that I could use a universal slider assembly and the Subaru bottom rail which fitted the floor mounts exactly. And it was the cheapest I could think of

As said. Buy aftermarket Subaru specific sliding rails, if you bought your seats new they will have come with side mounts, if not you need side mounts too, bolt it all together and done.
I have bride rails, and they were £300 for the pair second hand so not cheap.

I've actually seen these, the Buddy Club ones as mentioned above. Looks like they are all I'd need?

Just not entirely sure if they fit the XL seats or not.

Yes they look the same to me but you can buy them direct for less, I have a GT passenger seat and they seem to work fine albeit a little stiff...both of them lol.
M2's are £115 with vat and the buddy club low rails are £150
